In the transition between the Law and the Prophets and the fulfillment of Jesus who came to us full of Grace and Truth, there is a tendency for us to cast off restraint. An analogy to simplify this transition deals with a child or children who have been protected by their parents until they enter adolescence. Many times adult children will begin to rebel and resent the protection of their parents because they view it as control. Consequently, they cast off restraint and enter a rebellious phase. How do we as Christians avoid the phase of rebelling once we realize that we're under Grace and not under the Law?
